Research Digest

The Research Digest is a quarterly publication highlighting the breadth of research conducted at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). VIMS faculty, staff, and students publish over 200 peer-reviewed scientific publications and technical reports annually and the Digest is an annotated bibliography of those peer-reviewed publications. It is also one of several ways VIMS addresses its advisory service mandate by sharing relevant research with external partners, including natural resource managers, decision-makers, industry, and colleagues at other institutions.
